write an expression for the situation 14 fewer than 4 times 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4x9)-14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 < 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 fewer than four is 4 - 14. then times nine would be 4 - 14 x 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks for the english lesson sue, im not english native

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This question, as it is expressed, is unanswerable!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could interpret it as what is 14 fewer(less than) the sum of 4x9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@suzi20 wat??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well either way you have to solve this in pemdas form so if you were to solve this it would go 4 x 9 - 14 I see what u mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just told us, 14 fewer than 4 meaning is 4 - 14, i thought 14 fewer than 4 is 14 less than 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok ;) glad I could help...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if what was @nabizag said was correct, then my answer was correct too
